Daily life practice.This is not the usual kind of self-help book. Indeed, its major premise heeds a Zen master's advice to be less self-centered. Yes, it is "one more book of words about Zen," as the author concedes, yet this book explains meditative practices from the perspective of a " neural Zen." The latest findings in brain research inform its suggestions. In Meditating Selflessly, James Austin -- Zen practitioner, neurologist and author of three acclaimed books on Zen and neuroscience -- guides readers toward that open awareness already awaiting them on the cushion and in the natural world.<br /><br />Austin offers concrete advice -- often in a simplified question-and-answer format -- about different ways to meditate. He clarifies both the concentrative and receptive styles of meditation. Drawing widely from the exciting new field of contemplative neuroscience, Austin helps resolve an ancient paradox: why both insight wisdom and selflessness arise simultaneously during enlightened states of consciousness.MeditationBuddhismZen BuddhismPsychologySelf-consciousness (Awareness)Religious aspectsZen BuddhismElectronic books.MeditationBuddhism.Zen BuddhismPsychology.Self-consciousness (Awareness)Religious aspectsZen Buddhism.294.3/4435Austin James H.1925-914293MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457810303321Meditating selflessly2048423UNINA02610nam 22004573a 450 991047692590332120211214195607.097838452253023845225300https://doi.org/10.5771/9783845225302(CKB)4340000000009590(OCoLC)1249171688(ScCtBLL)a01882e6-ecce-4766-ab63-ac925f3f9d7c(oapen)doab36399(EXLCZ)99434000000000959020211214i20102021 uu enguru||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Impact of Mass Media on Political Support : A Preferences-Perceptions Model of Media Effects /Daniela FloßVolume 1Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft mbH & Co.

Recent research suggests that voter cynicism is fueled by the manner in which mass media covers political events and issues. This dissertation provides evidence regarding the impact that media coverage of political decision-making procedures has on an audience's political support. It focuses on the role of individual expectations and preferences of the audience. Empirically-standardized online surveys, an experimental study, and a comprehensive content analysis of news coverage were conducted for this study. It shows that mass media may contribute to a decrease of political support by shaping the perception of political processes. In addition, the findings suggest that the media's impact on political support was particularly strong if media coverage shapes the impression that political processes do not match individual preferences. This book contributes to a differentiation of the rather general claim that negative or critical media information results in a decline of political support.Politische Kommunikation und demokratische ÖffentlichkeitPolitical Science / ReferencebisacshPolitical sciencePolitical Science / ReferencePolitical science.Floß Daniela1071036ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910476925903321The Impact of Mass Media on Political Support2565721UNINA
